Bird Pest Control

Do you have a pest infestation you want eradicating?

North Yorkshire Moors Birds of Prey specialises in the clearing of nuisance birds using an effective and ethical method. Our birds of prey can eradicate problem pigeons, seagulls, magpies and crows, without the use of extreme, unethical methods of disposal.

Pest species such as feral pigeons and seagulls are becoming increasingly common throughout the UK and can have a negative impact in both the private and business sectors. They are frequently seen in town centres, warehouses, depots and many other urban areas, causing issues for the general public, employees and clients.

As well as causing an unsightly mess to businesses and public areas, these pest species are also plagued with many diseases. Their nesting sites can create noise, smells and health and safety hazards wherever they are found.

All of our pest control technicians are fully trained falconers and have many years of experience in all aspects of avian control. We regard ourselves as one of the best in this specialist field, and have a lengthy track record of successful pest control operations.

Our birds of prey technique works by altering the behaviour patterns of the pest bird. Our technicians fly hawks directly towards the flock, scaring them away. The presence of a hawk in a problem area causes confusion and a sense of vulnerability, which leads the pests to nest away from the problem area. This can take a number of visits to achieve; however, once the pests’ pattern of behaviour has been altered, control can be maintained with a routine treatment programme.
